Link your iNaturalist account to load observations from your identification queue and submit IDs directly from this workspace.
What this workspace actually does:
Loads the account and observation information needed for your identification queue.
Only when you choose to do so, posts identifications and associated text or marks observations as “community ID cannot be improved.”
About the iNaturalist authorization warning:
iNaturalist displays a standard notice saying that this application can create, update, and delete content and access other account information. That describes the broad technical permission iNaturalist grants to connected applications. This workspace does not delete or edit your existing content. It only performs the actions listed above, and posting actions are manually controlled by you.
If that doesn't work (e.g. if you are running a copy of this page on your computer), you can also link your account manually. Log in and copy the 'api_token' to your clipboard by visiting https://www.inaturalist.org/users/api_token
About this key
Hi, I’m @edanko. After years of identifying flies from photos, I built this interactive key to make the process faster and easier. You can use the key on its own, or to work through observations from your Identify queue and submit identifications directly.
Only score characters you can confidently see. If you’re unsure, use the Skip button—the key is designed to work with partial information.
